Danger from Within
The inconsistencies of human nature stagger , logical
reasoning. For example, there are those in the United States
who blast the totalitarian powers as destroyers of democracy
—which is the truth. In the next breath, -they promote policies in our own nation that are as totalitarian in their ultimate effect as the program of any dictator.
The policies of the aggressor nations in destroying the
rights and liberties of individuals, are no more deadly in
their effect than are the policies being promoted by advocates
of government ownership of industry in this country.
These promoters of state socialism in the. United States
simply assume that public ownership of business, patterned
after the dictatorships, is going to cure all shortcomings or
failures in private enterprise. They advance no arguments to
prove to the people that socializing private industry will correct evils of which they complain, and which, at their worst,
are not to be compared with the evils that follow in the wake
of a policy which gives government and bureaucratic officialism an opportunity to destroy any line of private endeavor at
public expense.
The sacred name of government is-being used as the
screen behind which to attack private enterprise in this
country under the guise of protecting the people, when as a
matter of fact, every move made to put government 4nto
business and destroy private enterprise, is undermining and
revoking the very liberties we should defend.
The greatest danger this country faces today is not, from
the aggressor without, but from the aggressor, within. In
the name of democracy; we have-powerful influences at work
within our nation using the defence emergency to destroy
democracy at home. '"iM^
They pick out a big industry^i^lie^pearhead of their
attack, on the theory that it has||§Kr%ien|(-sy It- is the.principle of government ownership t«i_y.*are es*fcSblis^ag,^raither
than the i^dtistiyilifi^^&^a^^^tjftat -tlH^ai^^^b^
be" fearful of." The'future rights and liberties of everypitizrenj
every home owner, every farmer and every business man
are at stake. Remember that the aggressor technique and
the results that follow its success are as damaging "to the
individual, regardless of the cloak under which it is disguised.
Gardens for National Defense
There is one contribution that millions of us can make
this year toward national defense preparations, and it will
also mean a substantial savings in the family food budget.
It is the planning and planting of a home vegetable garden.
According to national gardening leaders', the nation's
home garden output this spring is expected to be far under
that of 1917, with only about half as many gardening famv
ilies now as then.
There are three points for you to consider: devote increased space to- vegetables in the coming season, perfect
plans so as to get the greatest possible yield from the space
available, and use quality seeds.
To increase the yield from vegetable gardens of limited
size, experts say two major devices should be relied on. First,
companion cropping—the planting of fast-growing crops like
radishes, spinach, and lettuce between rows of slower-growing vegetables such as tomatoes and cabbage. Second, succession cropping—the repeated planting of major crops
such as beans, sweet corn, radishes, carrots, beets, and lettuce. Moderate-size, new plantings njade at regular intervals
during the early part of the season will provide a steady
supply of fresh vegetables until the season's end.
Gardening improves the national health in more ways
than one. To raise a good garden you must work. Garden
work takes you outdoors for long hours in the sun and fresh
air.

Printers as Educators
The schools and colleges are considered the leading education centers, but there is a third type of education center
of the highest value, found in the 21,000 printing and publishing establishments in the United States. Out of these big
. and little shops, there flows a constant stream of information, intelligence, and inspiration.
From these centers the people hear the truth. Opinions
differ as to what the truth is. If each such center speaks its
own mind, the public; "by examining the different claims, can
determine which is nearest the truth. Printed matter, even
though devoted solely to some business proposition, helps
spread information. It supports organizations and industries,
that give popular leadership and provide work for the people.
Humanity's Benefactors
Sir Frederick Banting, who recently died in Canada, is
hailed as having, in connection with associated doctors, discovered insulin, the remedy used with wonderful success in
the treatment of diabetes. The world owes a great debt to
the medical scientists like him, who have delved into the
mysterious mind of nature, and discovered the means by
which diseases can be cured or relieved.
Thus gradually the ills of man are being counteracted
or cured. As these discoveries go on, the people can look for-
-, ward to longer lives. Unfortunately, long^ life depends largely
' on self-contrpL"No scientist can put that into ..a person's
heart if he l^"iiQt-dOTeloti€d it there himself.- ;,: ^

Danger from Within
The inconsistencies of human nature stagger , logical
reasoning. For example, there are those in the United States
who blast the totalitarian powers as destroyers of democracy
—which is the truth. In the next breath, -they promote policies in our own nation that are as totalitarian in their ultimate effect as the program of any dictator.
The policies of the aggressor nations in destroying the
rights and liberties of individuals, are no more deadly in
their effect than are the policies being promoted by advocates
of government ownership of industry in this country.
These promoters of state socialism in the. United States
simply assume that public ownership of business, patterned
after the dictatorships, is going to cure all shortcomings or
failures in private enterprise. They advance no arguments to
prove to the people that socializing private industry will correct evils of which they complain, and which, at their worst,
are not to be compared with the evils that follow in the wake
of a policy which gives government and bureaucratic officialism an opportunity to destroy any line of private endeavor at
public expense.
The sacred name of government is-being used as the
screen behind which to attack private enterprise in this
country under the guise of protecting the people, when as a
matter of fact, every move made to put government 4nto
business and destroy private enterprise, is undermining and
revoking the very liberties we should defend.
The greatest danger this country faces today is not, from
the aggressor without, but from the aggressor, within. In
the name of democracy; we have-powerful influences at work
within our nation using the defence emergency to destroy
democracy at home. '"iM^
They pick out a big industry^i^lie^pearhead of their
attack, on the theory that it has||§Kr%ien|(-sy It- is the.principle of government ownership t«i_y.*are es*fcSblis^ag,^raither

be" fearful of." The'future rights and liberties of everypitizrenj
every home owner, every farmer and every business man
are at stake. Remember that the aggressor technique and
the results that follow its success are as damaging "to the
individual, regardless of the cloak under which it is disguised.
Gardens for National Defense
There is one contribution that millions of us can make
this year toward national defense preparations, and it will
also mean a substantial savings in the family food budget.
It is the planning and planting of a home vegetable garden.
According to national gardening leaders', the nation's
home garden output this spring is expected to be far under
that of 1917, with only about half as many gardening famv
ilies now as then.
There are three points for you to consider: devote increased space to- vegetables in the coming season, perfect
plans so as to get the greatest possible yield from the space
available, and use quality seeds.
To increase the yield from vegetable gardens of limited
size, experts say two major devices should be relied on. First,
companion cropping—the planting of fast-growing crops like
radishes, spinach, and lettuce between rows of slower-growing vegetables such as tomatoes and cabbage. Second, succession cropping—the repeated planting of major crops
such as beans, sweet corn, radishes, carrots, beets, and lettuce. Moderate-size, new plantings njade at regular intervals
during the early part of the season will provide a steady
supply of fresh vegetables until the season's end.
Gardening improves the national health in more ways
than one. To raise a good garden you must work. Garden
work takes you outdoors for long hours in the sun and fresh
air.

Printers as Educators
The schools and colleges are considered the leading education centers, but there is a third type of education center
of the highest value, found in the 21,000 printing and publishing establishments in the United States. Out of these big
. and little shops, there flows a constant stream of information, intelligence, and inspiration.
From these centers the people hear the truth. Opinions
differ as to what the truth is. If each such center speaks its
own mind, the public; "by examining the different claims, can
determine which is nearest the truth. Printed matter, even
though devoted solely to some business proposition, helps
spread information. It supports organizations and industries,
that give popular leadership and provide work for the people.
Humanity's Benefactors
Sir Frederick Banting, who recently died in Canada, is
hailed as having, in connection with associated doctors, discovered insulin, the remedy used with wonderful success in
the treatment of diabetes. The world owes a great debt to
the medical scientists like him, who have delved into the
mysterious mind of nature, and discovered the means by
which diseases can be cured or relieved.
Thus gradually the ills of man are being counteracted
or cured. As these discoveries go on, the people can look for-
-, ward to longer lives. Unfortunately, long^ life depends largely
' on self-contrpL"No scientist can put that into ..a person's
heart if he l^"iiQt-dOTeloti€d it there himself.- ;,: ^
